We were inspired to have a foot washing ceremony after witnessing a similar ceremony at a friend’s wedding the year before. It was a very special and intimate addition to our ceremony and a great reminder for us to serve each other like Christ. “Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet,” Christ said in John 13:14, “you also should wash one another’s feet.”

Have you been to a wedding, your own or someone else’s, that had a unique feature?

Ok, ok, it’s MY mid-century modern furniture board on Pinterest. When I first became interested in mid-century modern (MCM), I became frustrated that there were not many boards on the topic out there. So I started my own. What I love about MCM is it’s attention to natural wood grains, fibers, and metals. It focuses on clean lines and and organization, which makes me happy. This board focuses on individual furniture or art, with the occasional room and home layout. MCM pieces look great together, or mixed with other styles. One of my greatest joys in life is finding a great piece at a vintage or antique shop, but there are many current companies which produce furniture in the MCM style. Several pins on this board come from places like Targetand Zulily, which also mean affordability.

This board is sort of a lifestyle board and has great vintage images of life in the 1950-60s, in addition to great furniture and housewares. There is also a focus on the textiles and patterns of the era which are so iconic.
